I always piece my borders on the diagonal. I lay straight edges and overlap, stitch diagonally then trim the corners away. NO bias edge to sew.

Piece half-square-triangles by using two triangles.

Join your border strips on the diagonal. (??? I have never understood the reason for this! Diagonal is bias/bias stretches. Period)
